I am evil
as evil as can be
I am turning fifty three
and bad in your eyes
telling my son
no lies
He can come to me
if he is hungry but
my telling him was
the cardinal sin
according to you
the clever one
Who knows what’s
going on - it is only
me who is stupid not
knowing when to
acknowledge your wisdom
and my idiocy
Oh well, so be it
that is all I have left
this life is empty, only
words and images in
my mind helped
me through
I never found true
reality and that is fine
all we ever retain is
in our memory and according
to yours and mine you
will doubt me eternally…
